Los Angeles Lakers will face Golden State Warriors tonight, well it will be an easy game for Lakers to complete the leading of the western conference. For the Warriors they are soo weak this season with 2 wins in 11 games, they are really in trouble this season.
There is really not that much logic to look at the teams right now, there has been around 10 games since the start of the season (some played less or more) but at the end it is still showing a bit. Now I think Celtics will continue to be good but not this good, if they continue it would be around 68+ wins or so. I doubt Celtics that good.
On contrary, Heat is doing waaaaaayy too well, that ain't continue for too long, that team is a barely playoff team. Max they will end up with 6th seed. Otherwise, all other teams are looking they are in the right direction, maybeeeee Utah will drop but aside from that all other teams are looking beautifully positioned already. Yes, a lot could change since it is 10 games in only but it looks like only few teams will change and the top and bottom are already decided.

Bad news comes from Bucks, Khris Middleton will be absent for 3 to 4 weeks after suffering an injury to his left thigh (bruised wound). but the good news is that there are no serious internal injuries to the legs. in my opinion, the role of Pat Counnaghton and Sterling Brown would be needed by Bucks during Khris's absence
It should be good for him to take that rest for those weeks and let his team face those matches without him rather than add more pain to the injury that he has.Source: https://www.nba.com/article/2019/11/11/milwaukee-bucks-khris-middleton-leg-injury
As long as Giannis is alright, Bucks will remain as one of the best team in the East.
Injuries can't be avoided but let's just hope they will not be injured seriously if they will suffer because it would also affect the excitement of the fans on the team. Anyway, I think they'll be able to keep winning even without Middleton as they already build a winning system.
4 weeks should be maxed out not only for 3 weeks so that it would be a well enough rest for him.
Celtics already established right chemistry as we see with their previous games, even without hayward they will be manage to win especially
in front of their fans, Walker and tatum together with those youngsters will help the team manage the game. The chance is much higher for
Celtics to win against struggling wizards.

I think we should not put a focus on who will win against Celtics and the Wizards since we know the chances of the latter to win is very slim. Upsets happen but I don't see how Wizards can stand against the healthy Celtics on their upcoming match.
It's good to discuss instead those teams that equal in strength like the upcoming match of Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers. Both teams will come up healthy so it's definitely an unpredictable match.
That is what I am looking forward to?
Since DLo cannot carry a win then maybe the GSW management is not thinking to really trade him.
Just a month ago there have news or rather rumors that DLo wont be traded.
But with this kind of scene, maybe he will be.
I expect a better trade since that will be a lot of money at stake.
December 15, if I am not mistaken. It is near.

Trade DLO for good.
DLO might be producing good numbers in every game but clearly he is not fit the Warriors system although he made efforts to adopt it. What Warriors need is another good role player and not a superstar or all-star caliber. And besides, DLO is the only player that Warriors can trade for now in return for a good set of players. With DLO's performance game by game, I'm sure some teams like to get him.
Yeah, but who?
Look to me like the Minnesota is the one eyeing for DLo which is friends with KAT.
But it is going to be difficult to find the right one when dealing with them so a rotation might be made afterwards. Deal it with another team instantly to avoid getting players which is inappropriate for the team.
GSW though have to fill blanks and I haven't seen the right place into where they could get one.
I guess we will be waiting for more rumors to come.
Take a look at the match Celtics vs Wizard tomorrow. Gordon Hayward will still not play for Celtics in this match, he will not play for 6 weeks after successfully undergoing surgery on a Metacarpal fracture in his left hand. Hayward suffered the injury last Saturday during the match against Spurs. but I'm sure Celtics will win with more than 11 range points against Wizard. I'll make a bet for Celtics for it!
Against a much weaker team than they are, I'm sure the Celtics will come up with the win even without Hayward. Boston is packed with young and talented players this season so I think loosing against the wizard is quite surprising.in front of their fans, Walker and tatum together with those youngsters will help the team manage the game.

I was really looking forward for the Phoenix Suns win but they still fell short against the Lakers.
It was those last minutes in the fourth where the Lakers got away. When two towers are on the floor to stop every shot of the Suns players.
Howard and Davis. They have reserved Howard to be in full energy in the fourth and he made some good calls.
Big man keeps on jumping for the rebound and also scoring inside.
I lose, but I really enjoyed the game more.

it's the 2nd game that Hayward will not play, but do they have a problem in their first game without him? the answer is big NO. They still won against the Mavericks which is one of the surprising team in the NBA, tomorrow, they will be facing a weaker team and still at home, so they will likely to win this game, I am expecting another big team effort by the Celtics, count the win already, I'm so confident on their win.

The young Celtics team is leading the east with an impressive 8-1 record. I want to see a Celtics vs Lakers for the finals to revive their rivalry decades ago. What do you think guys, does this make any sense?

Bad news comes from Bucks, Khris Middleton will be absent for 3 to 4 weeks after suffering an injury to his left thigh (bruised wound). but the good news is that there are no serious internal injuries to the legs. in my opinion, the role of Pat Counnaghton and Sterling Brown would be needed by Bucks during Khris's absence
It should be good for him to take that rest for those weeks and let his team face those matches without him rather than add more pain to the injury that he has.Source: https://www.nba.com/article/2019/11/11/milwaukee-bucks-khris-middleton-leg-injury

Injuries can't be avoided but let's just hope they will not be injured seriously if they will suffer because it would also affect the excitement of the fans on the team. Anyway, I think they'll be able to keep winning even without Middleton as they already build a winning system.
Injury updates though.
Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.
Hoping that those injuries are not that bad unlike Curry's. I really think that warriors made Curry's injury look bad because of the current roster. Anybody thinking the same way as I am? LOL. Lowry with left thumb fracture, which had been a problem before.
Ibaka with Sprained Ankle.
It's just a sprain and a thumb fracture, it aint that bad.
They will be back soon.
Are you forgetting the Golden State Warriors in your count? If we are talking about the balance changes or how teams are equally performing well then you are wrong since the Warriors are looking like a lottery team with just two wins in almost a month after the season has started. Even with Steph Curry still playing together with DLo and Draymond they still manage to lose against the Suns and the Williamson-less Pelicans. I don't know but I think they are really tanking this season in the hopes that they could bring a big rookie back in San Francisco just in time when Klay and maybe some key pieces they will get from the DLo trade they will have for the next season.
That is what I am looking forward to?
Since DLo cannot carry a win then maybe the GSW management is not thinking to really trade him.

This is really bad news as Middleton is part of their core team behind Giannis, but to off-set this Counnaghton and Brown needs to step up the plate to cover for him. Similar to what Chris Boucher is doing for Toronto.
Yes, I would agree that Celtics is doing great after Irving departed. Kemba Walker's taking over is a blessing for them. Offence is really smooth with Walker at front.

3. Celtics became even better after Kyrie left ( which I expected ). The last time they faced the Cavs in the ECF without kyrie was a pretty good line up and rotation. So, that was like the sign for the Celtics that they dont need Kyrie anymore.
This is true, they have proven that this season so far.
